Post-Game Talk: Preseason GM04| Vancouver Canucks lose to Calgary Flames | 2-4 (Lekkerimaki & Raty)

[bbud]

Nice finish Raty

 

[Vector]

I've actually liked Vinny so far.

He’s a guy I was interested in signing. Cost a little more than I thought and was confused after they had already brought in Forbort.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Alright Raty. Love it.

 

[logan5]

Not a great game to watch, but they are hanging in here against a far better Calgary line-up.

 

[Canucks LB]

Raty made this team

 

[Big zZz]

Woah.

ArtuuuuRatuuuu

 

[MS]

Raty feels like he’s going to make the team. Another strong performance tonight.

 

[Vector]

Raty could be such an asset to the bottom-6. That’s a goal I’ve seen him score quite a bit in Abbotsford.

 

[moiderer]

Raty is just lapping Aman at this point. Depth center that can play heavy, capitalize when needed, and actually win faceoffs.

 

[Canucks LB]

Raty and lekkerimaki with the goals tonight, how good is that?

 

[Jovofan]

Raty is like Aman 2.0. Aman is a decent player but is very limited and his upside seems tapped out. Raty can fill the exact same role but is still developing and has way more offensive upside.

 

[Paulinbc]

Aside from the Nashville series, I’ve never really been impressed with Silovs. He’s got a lot of developing left to do.

Same. Really happy about the Lankyman though.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Games a little too fast for Pettersson right now.

Yeah he is definitely a long-term project....and there's no sure bet he will be an NHLer.

Goaltending and D are massive areas of concern and this pre-season has done f*** all in quelling those fears. Silovs is....rather mid.

 

[Peen]

Also, please waive Aman. There’s absolutely no reason for him to be ahead of Raty.

Aman eats minutes and doesn’t make mistakes. And C so useful as a depth F. If that’s tbe role, no point using Raty* there.

But if Joshua’s out, someone is coming into the lineup.

Pretty even between the rest of them (pdg, bains, karlsson, aman, etc.)

 

[Hansen]

Raty seems to be the stand out among those competing for that last spot

 

[Canucks LB]

Raty is like Aman 2.0. Aman is a decent player but is very limited and his upside seems tapped out. Raty can fill the exact same role but is still developing and has way more offensive upside.

Even if he’s a fourth liner for the next five years, the guy is young still, huge find in the trade

 

[PavelBure10]

Lekkerimaki and Raty are seriously pushing Digiuseppe and Aman out of roster spots. Loving their games in this year preseason.

 

[ephmrl]

I've actually liked Vinny so far.

He moves around the ice and handles the puck much better than I thought he would

 

[LemonSauceD]

He’s a guy I was interested in signing. Cost a little more than I thought and was confused after they had already brought in Forbort.

He’s kind of like a bigger, more mobile Schenn.

 

[Grantham]

R2D2 !! Love his progression...sick toe drag

 

[Big zZz]

Lekkermaki is the most overrated Canucks prospect since hunter shinkaruk.

Change my mind.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Hirose wtf man lol

 

[WTG]

Lekkermaki is the most overrated Canucks prospect since hunter shinkaruk.

Change my mind.

Virtanen

 

[ephmrl]

Lekkermaki is the most overrated Canucks prospect since hunter shinkaruk.

Change my mind.

His defensive zone awareness is already miles ahead of Shinkaruk's

 

[logan5]

Completely limp on the power play.
